VERSES:
1. [Am]Staring at the [E]rain, pouring down my [Am]window,
2. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
3. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
I keep on wondering [E]why you l[E7]ie.
I keep on wondering why you lie.
I keep on wondering why you lie.
[Dm]Like the tears I had to [E7]cry, sliding down with pa[Am]in
Like a ship left on the sea, and the ocean in a rage
Like a bird lost in the sky, flying down with pain
You're still [G]hangin' in my [E]brain and I [E7]feel like such a [Am]fool. [G] (To Verse 2)
With the waves that run so high it's a never ending tide. (To Chorus 1)
You're still soaring in my brain it's a never ending flight. (To Chorus 2)
CHORUS:
1.2. [C]I don't wanna keep on [G]dragging [E7]myself
[Am]I Seem to [G]live in happiness[F] [////] [///] [G]
[C]I don't wanna keep on [G]draggin [E7]myself
[Am]I Need some[G]one to find my[F] way, [Dm] [E7] And I feel like such a fool.
